Venezuela’s Confidential Recipe & Scottish artist Harvey McKay come back to Radio Slave’s techno-leaning RSPX offshoot with their first collaboration, the ‘Bad Man’ EP, arriving 18th July 2025. The release, drawing inspiration from the Chicagoan Dance Mania label, opens with the title track, a syncopated techno slammer driven by booming kicks, fizzing hi-hats, and up vocal chops. Fragmented samples and textured stabs inject raw energy, building tension before the drop hits hard.

Going second, ‘Move It’ is a relentless deep techno cut with rolling bass, sonar-like synth pulses, and jacked-up percussion, engineered for maximum effect on the dancefloor, already supported by Mark Broom, Tasha & Elisa Bee.

“Working with Harvey on these tracks was a total honor and the connection between our styles felt perfect, we had a lot of fun on the process and we couldn’t be more happy to release this project on the mighty RSPX”
– Confidential Recipe

“We had started chatting as we both loved each other's music and ended up chatting quite a lot and bouncing music back and forth, and I felt we had a very similar musical intuition, but with a different twist from both sides. So it made sense to put our heads together to see what we came up with, super happy with the result and great fun in the process, and we both are super happy it's on RSPX as we feel it's a great home for it.”
– Harvey McKay

Confidential Recipe fuses rave, techno, electro, and breaks with razor-sharp precision – a sound he’s honed over more than a decade through his Kontra imprint and standout releases on Rekids and its RSPX sublabel. Scottish producer Harvey McKay, known for his dark, driving techno, joined the RSPX roster in 2024 with his ‘DV8’ EP, adding to a catalogue that includes Phantasy Sound, Bek Audio, and Cocoon, with his productions having won consistent support from notable artists such as Laurent Garnier, DJ Bone, Carista, and Luke Slater.

Inside the Circle Mix (Selected for Feedback by Klaps) | 07-11-2025

✈ We are delighted to welcome American DJ and Producer from Chicago/Minneapolis, currently based in Berlin: JON HESTER.

Hailing from the Midwest US, Jon Hester is an embodiment of the movements, sounds, and attitude that have continued to push techno and house forward. His energy and enthusiasm brought him all the way from beginnings in Chicago and Minneapolis to his present home base of Berlin.

With music released on Rekids, Klockworks, Deeply Rooted, and performances worldwide at clubbing institutions such as Berghain Berlin, Rex Club Paris, fabric London, and Vent Tokyo, he is equally keen for the fresh intensity of newer clubs dotting South America and South Africa. Jon continues building on the very expression he connected with more than 25 years ago via his label, Participation, an outlet for his own output as well as collaborative efforts with fellow artists in the global techno and house community. The collaborations are realized through a reciprocal exchange of sketches between artists, with artwork consisting of a simple one-line drawing from Hester himself – underscoring the directness, honesty, and immediacy of the music presented.

Participation launched in October 2023 with a solo EP from Hester, followed by collaborations with Panorama Bar favorite Cassy, Madrid Techno figurehead Tadeo, Tokyo's legendary DJ Shufflemaster, Swedish mainstay Joel Mull, UK phenomenon The Advent, Icelandic icon Exos, American live act Lady Starlight, and Uruguayan upstart William Arist. With more projects in the works, Participation will continue to inspire, surprise, and delight listeners around the globe, with the impressive depth and breadth of Hester’s tastes and abilities on full display.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

“With Journeys Into Sound, I wanted to explore the full range of what techno means to me. From deep, dubby grooves to peak-time energy, but always with soul at the core. Toronto has shaped my sound as much as Detroit has inspired it, and this series is about connecting those worlds. Every mix is a reflection of the places and people that continue to move me”

Belgium-based artist Azo debuts on Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects with the ‘Aries Constellation’ EP, arriving 28th November 2025. The DJ, producer, live act, Kiosk Radio resident, and Queer Future Club founder kicks things oﬀ with the title track, its subtle Electro groove taking the backseat to its ambient, expansive pads and lush synth lines.

‘Astral Combination’ follows, featuring an earworm melody at its centre, as crisp 909 drums underpin a soft acid line, just before ‘Healing in Space’ concludes with ecstatic energy, trading the previous tracks’ mystery for high-energy, intergalactic dancefloor action.

“The Aries Constellation, one of the oldest known, represents the ram, a symbol of courage, energy, and new beginnings. Its brightest stars, Hamal, Sheratan, Mesarthim, and 41 Ari, mark the head, shoulders, and body of the ram, while smaller stars trace the horns and outline, forming a luminous guide across the night sky. The EP unfolds like a journey through sound and space. Aries Constellation brings electro and ambient textures for a spatial journey, Astral Combination flows through nostalgic house rhythms, and Healing in Space draws on Detroit-inspired hopeful waves with subtle acid lines. Each track moves between intensity and calm, taking the listener on a journey through sound. The music captures the expansive feeling of floating through a stellar landscape, inspired by the power and mystique of the Aries constellation.”

Azo

With the ‘Aries Constellation’ EP on RSPX, Correspondant and Duality Trax artist Azo follows up her recent ‘Echoes of Infinity’ EP on London’s Manual Smiles imprint, supported by the likes of DJ Rolando, Amanda Mussi, HAAi, Jen Cardini, Alinka, and Gerd Janson. As a DJ, Azo appears regularly at institutions such as Fuse, Nuits Sonores, Listen Festival, and more, while her Queer Future Club events tour Europe, and her radio presence includes shows on The Lot, Rinse France, as well as her Kiosk Radio residency.
